When I was setting up the WM6 release on my Blue Angel (SX66), I entered a pin (1994) for the device. I reset the device, and it gave me a dialog that said "Password" as the header, and the box had "Emergency phone calls can be made." It also had a keypad with CLR and 0 as the bottom row. The bottom buttons are Unlock and Menu. The password 1994 when typed in doesn't work. It gives me my hint, but the password still doesn't work. I've hard reset it to no avail. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I've tried hard reset, it didn't work. I'm just going to re-flash the ROM.
hard reset should work. did you perform the no/yes/yes routine (part of the hard reset procedure)?
Got it working - turned out I just needed to perform the N/y/y procedure - thanks everyone!

In WM5/WM6 the N/Y/Y procedure is the actual hard reset in WM2003 it is Power+Reset buttons at the same time

I have the same problem WM6) on the Siemens SX66 from Cingular, how do I execute the n/y/y procedure ???
HARDRESET 101
Steps...
1. SoftReset
2. When the three color stripes(four including white) appear QUICKLY press and hold Record and Camera button.
3. If a menu appears... (if not softreset again while holding Record+Camera)
use Record To NAVIGATE the three items and Camera to TOGGLE Yes/No
4. Press Mail button to Execute the Instructions.
NOTES:
------------------------------------------------
if you're upgrading/changing ROM then USE... No/Yes/Yes
these will format the storage and replace them with the new ROM files
------------------------------------------------
if you only want to only erase the password USE... No/Yes/No
these will keep your files. only the registry is cleaned.
Please help

Thanks for the help

because your mail button isnt working you havent actually executed the procedure...
you could try the MTTY Alternative of hard reset/ i dont know about your data if it is safe with that alternative.
i havent had any experience or need to use it.
But I KNOW that the solution to your problem is SOMEWHERE in this BA forum.
Goodluck in searching...

It's a bug in the OS.

i dont think it's a bug. if it is it should be eliminated as early as the 2nd ROM release.
it's a hardware compatibility in which, no one yet has found a fix.
if you want your data to be safe, the only workaround with this is not to activate the phone's password and/or find an alternative third party phone locker with password feature at bootup.
have a nice day!

So I backed up my phone after I found it wouldn't sync to save my contacts and all. Bricked my phone, got a replacement. NOW THE PROBLEM is that when I restore, my device lock comes up but the code (which I remember) doesn't work.
Is there a file I can NOT restore so I can get the contacts and rest back?
Man I miss my Treo, Palm Desktop was beautiful. Microsoft SUCKS
Oops. You're going through something which I too have been through. But,now there is a solution. Run that backup file exe. Go to 'tools'(right soft key)//advance options//tick 'dont restrore password'
Do tell me if u r successful in getting ur stuff back
PS: was going to sleep and posted this via wifi. really felt that u r in trouble

Ok, see once I run it, turn the phone on, the device lock comes up and I'm stuck. The only options it gives is to cancel. How many times can I put this thing back to factory settings before I brick it? Walk me through this like I'm stupid! LOL I thank you for responding, seriously!
After I this, I gotta do the memory increase... grrrr

You wont be bricking the phone that way at all Do a forced hardreset(both softkeys+softreset button)
Now, follow these steps
1)click on the backup exe file
2)go to tools>dont restore password
3)also uncheck stop all processes
4)dont go in for 'full backup'. Do a custom restore and select only PIM and my documents from it.
you can always install the programs after that because IMHO the PIM data is far more important
keep us updated
THANK YOU!!!!

hi i am also using htc herald, i just flashed my ROM and the new rom is working fine. However i tried to backup my stuffs using spb backup, and i chose full restore(which including system setting may be) and since then my phone just wont boot up, only 1 screen showing smart mobility is appearing constantly. Do this have anything to do with me flashing the phone? And what are the solutions can i try? Thanks a lot

SPB backup doesnt let you upgrade/downgrade between ROMs. To be on the safe side, just restore PIM+my documents after ROM upgrade.
Follow the steps exactly the same way I've listed in my previous post
thanks for ur reply, i hard reset my phone and luckily it is starting to boot up and this time i din restore the system back up and now my phone is working fine. Thanks again.
I do have this problem. i dont see your stop give me a solution, I can do anything when Screen PDA only show ..
ENTER YOUR PASSWORD AND TAP "UNLOCK". YOU CAN ALSO ENTER AN EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBER
0 0:08:00
i think numeric which show down below is timer for keep entering password. .... Suck. Please Help me bro

i just bought my new X1 and while i was doing the setting i set up a password
and the next day i forgot it ...
can anyone help me with reseting it ??
please help ..
Try a hard reset to set it back to factory state, but you'll lose any information and programs that you've installed since you bought it. You can search the forums if you don't know how.
Just in case you don't know how to hard reset without access to the phone, hold both buttons on the front and then push the stylus into the reset button under the battery cover.
opps, that was careless....
thank you very much ..
i thought there is other way than hard reset ...
but finally i did it ..
thanks and you were very helpful guys ..

if that was possible, don't you think it will be useless to setup a password in the device?

excuse me but u have a wrong idea .
can you tell me if you forgot your pc's password, there is no way except you format it ??!!
for windows ?!!
even if you set a password on the BIOS there is a way to open it, right ?
thanks again
You can use endless exploits to sam hashes to get back into a lock pc but winmo ... not sure.
sure there is a way,
but!
no one knows it!
Hard reset it mate, i think it's the best (and fastest) way to use your phone again.
good luck
A few days ago something weird happened... I got up in the morning and when I checked my phone it was at the point of the HardReset when it asks the user to tap the screen to align it. I didn't ask for that hard reset. What could be the problem?

Not sure to be honest. Some issues which appear with the HD can be rectified by flashing back to a stock rom then reflashing custom rom again
I've been having the same problem...found a few others who have also......if anyone has a solution please let us all know.

The Solution already mentioned by Fallan is to Flash a stock ROM is the simpliest way. Another option is to use mtty which is the fastest way however, can be less safe for noobs.
I'd like to know the procedure to remake all the partitions of my phone. One by one.
Cause don't metter what modem I flash, don't matter what rom I flash, baseband stills unknown...
So ServiceMode (*#9090#) stills always blank for me. As *#0011# is blank too...
And cause ServiceMode stills blank, I can't activate one option there that can set possible for my phone to be fixed with a z3x box that I already bought.
The issue with my baseband and IMEI starts when I install a bad app, in a ironic way, with the function to backup the IMEI.
And my nightmare have no end until that day...

And what about Samsung Drivers? Is the same as the drivers installed with Samsung Kies?
Good luck!
@Raphy511
In the topic says to download this:
"- adb http://www.multiupload.nl/VU164H9Y20"
But the file is expired.
This "adb" is the same file ".exe" inside the file "EFS Professional" that you send to me?
And if yes... When I do a double click in file "adb", it open a screen like a "command prompt" and closes fastly. So how can I run the commands like was said by @mirek190 if the screen closes? Do I have to use Terminal Emulator app?
Thanks.
And about Samsung Drivers (link also expired).
Is this?

First, if you haven't already, download Stock firmware for your phone. (Sammobile.com is best I think but you have to have free membership to DL) Make sure you get the right one - some Asian phones are different partitions to Euro ones.
Download Odin 3.09
Turn phone OFF - this is a must to have modem/bootloader get replaced. Start phone in Download mode with [Menu] + [Vol Down] + [Power] then [Vol Up] to go into DL mode.
Run Odin as Administrator. (right-click and choose it) Connect phone to USB from PC. Note if this doesn't show on PC you may need Samsung drivers installed on PC.(Link is HERE
The phone will show up in Odin when it is connected.
Click AP and find the stock firmware and add it. Wait - it will take a minute or so until it says Ready.
Click Start. Wait... Wait some more. When it is ready it will restart the phone and you can run setup of the phone.
Good luck!
